So who are the congresspeople responsible for the inclusion of that particular language into the bill?

QuoteS.AMDT.2681
Amends: H.R.3402
Sponsor: Sen Specter, Arlen [PA] (submitted 12/16/2005) (proposed 12/16/2005)

COSPONSORS(3):

Sen Biden, Joseph R., Jr. [DE]  - 12/16/2005
Sen Leahy, Patrick J. [VT]  - 12/16/2005
Sen Kennedy, Edward M. [MA]  - 12/17/2005

TO's favorite senator once again making me glad I didn't vote for him.

Three Democrats and a Republican, all heavyweights.  Heavyweight dicks.

Does anyone think the world wouldn't be a better place--on balance--if all the politicians were napalmed?  And the lobbyists too?  Seriously.  I'd miss Barack Obama a bit, but he's probably going to turn out just as crooked, weak, and venal as all the rest.

Nuke em all and start over. It would probably only take 8-12 years to have a completely corrupt congress again, but what a glorious decade it would be.

I couldn't agree more.  I was filling up my car with premium @ $2.599/gal on Saturday night, and I realized how totally farged we are on gas prices.  Republicans in power will look the other way while the oil companies make money hand over fist, and then some.  Democrats in power will tax/regulate the living hell out of the oil companies so they would justify having to charge more to the consumers.  Farg them all.

Our gas prices are still significantly lower than most of the places I've visited and this price increase is the opposite of news to anyone else in the world, but if you want to use that as your motivation for mass murdering every politician within a 600 mile radius then I'm 100% behind you.

Throw them all out and put in their place teachers, doctors, cops and EMTs.  Put professors and scholars, accountants and salespeople in charge and see what happens.

It couldn't possibly be worse.

How about a "no-confidence" vote?  You don't get a certain amount of the vote, the election doesn't produce a winner.  Keep running until you get someone the people will vote for.  It's not like the delay could make things any slower in Washington.

Oh whatever.  I'm babbling and I haven't even gotten high yet.

I like the idea of a "none of the above" option when voting for these giant douches.  That said, most people would be too scared of the guy they think they disagree with more getting elected and would still vote for their perceived lesser of two/three evils.  Plus, there are plenty of stupid people who buy in to the election hype and find a way get excited about turd sandwiches like George W. Bush and John Kerry, only to usually realize after the election that their excitement was founded on shaky ground at best.

BTW, now I want a baked potato and a few bong hits.  Farg you both.

A no cinfidence vote like the one suggested would require a govnerment that would actually put it in place, first. And second would require that a certain number of lazy ass, apathetic americans (myself firmly entrenched in that group) to get up off their asses and actually vote on something. And to top it all off we're simply hoping at that point that the people know enough to vote for someone based on something other than their good looks (the 'more attractive' candidate has won the majority of the female vote in every single election since they were allowed out of the kitchen), blind party affiliation (almost everyone votes based on a party because it requires less effort) or religious beliefs (given the choice voters almost always choose candidates of their own religious background).

This only works with an intelligent voting population who cares enough to get out and be heard and an agreeable government. Not in this country. Not in this or any other lifetime.

Put me down firmly in favor of term limits.  3 terms (6 years) for the House, 2 (12 years) for the Senate.

Term Limits = Big Fargin' Whoop

Replace old douches with younger, more creative douches.  Yay.

At least they'd be different douches!  :D

Instead of congressmen and senators spending the last year of their term campaigning for themselves, they would spend the last two years of their term grooming a successor and campaigning for them.

In theory I love the idea. In practice I guarantee that's what happens. 100% guarantee.

Alright, fine.  Party poopers.  Can we at least nuke this bunch?  At halftime of Super Bowl XL?  That would be awful satisfying.

I tell you, Dio, I sometimes would like nothing better than to see just that.
